Abuse Prevention

Voice For The Animals Foundation assists with the reporting and prosecuting of animal abuse and neglect. We work closely with both the LAPD Animal Cruelty Task Force and the City Attorney’s Animal Protection Unit.

Law enforcement officers are responsible for the investigation of animal cruelty, which ranges from misdemeanor to felony, depending upon the severity and level of intent. These crimes are important because they affect many aspects of society.

The State of California represents the interests of animals much in the same way that it represents the interests of minor children or other dependent victims.

All police departments are responsible for investigating all animal abuse crimes and protecting all victims.
